€Golf holidays in the Dominican Republic – a dream destination for golfers
The Dominican Republic is much more than just sun, sand and Caribbean flair – it is a true golf destination with world-class courses, tropical scenery and a climate that invites you to play all year round. For golfers looking for variety, quality and a good dose of holiday feeling, the island is one of the absolute highlights in the Caribbean.
Golfing in the Dominican Republic – what to expect:
Around 25 golf courses are spread across the country, many of them right on the coast with spectacular views of the turquoise sea. The regions of Punta Cana, La Romana and Puerto Plata in particular have established themselves as golf hotspots. Here you will find some of the most famous courses in the Caribbean – designed by golf legends such as Pete Dye, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Fazio.
Punta Cana – the golf mecca of the Caribbean
Punta Cana is the most famous golf destination in the country. The Punta Espada Golf Club (designed by Jack Nicklaus) is considered one of the best courses in Latin America. The La Cana Golf Club and the Corales Golf Club, with its dramatic cliffside holes, are also real highlights for discerning golfers.
La Romana – home of the legendary Teeth of the Dog
An absolute must is the Casa de Campo Resort & Villas with Pete Dye’s world-famous Teeth of the Dog Golf Course. This course is one of the top 100 in the world and is famous for its seven holes directly along the Caribbean coast. In addition, there are two other varied courses in the resort, Dye Fore and The Links.
Puerto Plata & North Coast – An insider tip with charm
Those who prefer a quieter atmosphere should not underestimate the north of the island. The ‘Playa Dorada Golf Club’ (Robert Trent Jones Sr.) offers well-maintained fairways and a relaxed atmosphere – perfect for a combination of golf and relaxation.
Best time to travel to the Dominican Republic for golf
The best time for a golf holiday in the Dominican Republic is from November to May. During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm, there is little rain, and the courses are in top condition. The summer months are also generally playable, but higher humidity and occasional showers are to be expected.
Conclusion
The Dominican Republic is one of the most attractive golf destinations in the Caribbean – with first-class golf courses, luxurious resorts, paradise beaches and Caribbean joie de vivre. Anyone who wants to combine golf with a tropical holiday feeling will get their money’s worth here.
